The Witcher: Versus Expands into Premium Content

Players can now purchase new features for a cost.

CD Projekt and one2tribe have added premium content to plans for augmenting The Witcher: Versus. The web-based fighting game will remain free of charge, but new features will be made available over the next few months via micro-transactions. Before players cry foul, the development team has stated that these new offerings won't unbalance the game in favor of those who fork over cash.

"Premium content will be added gradually; the first premium access package will contain new features intended to ease account and character management; they include a rucksack for items that are not currently equipped, a history of fights against a certain player (for ultimate bragging rights), as well as a private duels archive. The designers will reveal additional details over the next few months."

For those players who prefer not to invest in premium content, there are many changes coming that aren't micro-transaction based. Expect to see leagues, tournaments, challenges, a full-featured RPG world, and other new features online later this year. To join the fight taken with over 60,000 players, head over to The Witcher: Versus website.
